I have a G5 PowerPC that has 2x250gig HDDs RAID 0 together, and one of them went corrupt for no apparent reason. Other than that, I have never had any issues that I didnt do myself.

Work iMacs (G3) were always a pain in the ass - well that's partly true, it was mainly OS9. Personally i have an iBook (G4) and a Mac Mini (G4), had a few minor things with both but nothing that isn't just general niggles

I ordered my MacBook in Febuary, and got it in June, so they made it in April/May. Mine doesn't get yellow at all, so they must have fixed it really fast, considering they introduced the MacBooks in January. When did you get yours, Fryke? And how did you get it so fast? In Europe they started with the MacBooks in Febuary, so I placed the order, as soon as the stores had them. Did you buy yours online or at a store?

Oh and by the way Fryke: Neuigkeiten wegen dem Apple Store in der Bahnhofstraße, oder wo immer die jetzt ist? Bauen sie schon?

Hmmm... new Apple store has been built?

Looking back at my post and not wanting to include additional tid bits from history I feel it was a smooth transition from PowerPC to Intel. It could have been a lot worse if Mac users wanted it to be.
Apple has finally come full circle with their hardware and operating system. It works as advertised and when I select Shut Down from the menu it shuts down. When I press the power button it is ready to go as soon as I turn around. I have yet to see a Windows PC do what a Mac does. It just works and it works well.

Actually, though, selecting Shutdown or Restart prompts you if you really, really want to do that. They added that in Panther or something. Hate it.

Well obviously it is there for a reason. When you accidently hit the power button while plugging in a USB or Firewire device. It is also gives a countdown so if you want to wait for two minutes you can always cancel it. You must accidently shut down a lot. lol
